    <p>Resources are available in both Home and individual course sites. The Resources tool is site-dependent; the content uploaded in the Home area is private and visible only to the user (unless the user chooses to make items public).</p>
<p>The Resources tool in Home serves as a personal file space for the user to save, store, and organize files.</p>
<p>The features and functionality of the Resources tool are the same in any site where the tool appears. Please refer to <a href="content.hlp?docId=whatistheresourcestool">What is the Resources tool?</a> for more information on how to manage files using this tool.</p>
<p><em><strong>Note</strong>: Your institution may limit the user file storage quota and/or access to Resources in Home.</em></p>

    <p><em><strong>Tip</strong>: Users who would like to store large files in a single location in the system can store files in <strong>Home</strong> &gt; <strong>Resources</strong> and then </em><a href="content.hlp?docId=howdoiaddaweblinkorurl"><em>add weblinks to the files</em></a><em> in other sites. This strategy allows files to be stored in a single place rather than with multiple uploads to multiple locations. </em></p>
<p><em>Be sure to </em><a href="content.hlp?docId=howdoimakeafileorfolderpubliclyviewable"><em>configure your files as Public</em></a><em> if you plan to link to them from other sites.</em></p>
